When John House was called. Attorney
Dickey asked leave to call Alderman Doughty
later. Attorney Fotterraan presented a doctor's
certificate that the Alderman was sick in bed.
The certificate was sworn to before tho Alder
man himself. Mr. Dickey said: "Alderman
Doughty was subpoenaed on Saturday and be

The Court directed the examination to pro
ceed. House, who wore a Grand Army suit,
asked for a license at No. 3101 Butler street.
He was refused a license in 1SSS. Judge lowing
said: "Although he had gooa accommoda
tions tho Court could not help refusing him

without regard to the law. I recollect this case
well. He was licensed in 1SS7. Unfortunately,
he neglected the admonitions of the Court."

SOKKT FOR THE SOLDIER.
Judge Ewing Mr. House, you had better
keep jour house on strict principles foranother
year. I am sorrv for you, because J oa have

am very sorry.
Mr. House walked away, looking exceeding
ly sad.

cence at No 3351 Penn avenue, at the Forks of
the Koad. That used to be a licensed house
prior to the Brooks law, being kept alternately

Judge E wing's complaint that his book of
applications bad been lost. After some
searching it wis found. Applicant Xo. 3G0,
Leopold Kress, No. 3S09 Butler street, was
called. He was in the saloon business in
the Fifteenth ward from 1873 to 188S. He
did not apply either in 1S8S or ISS'J, because
the place which he then had was next door
to a German Catholic church. Now he has
secured a house tno blocks further out the
street He has been selling queensware
and his wife has been running a boarding
house. He gave a good account of himself
under the old law except that he had only a
5100 license. He rents Irom George Schafer,
who is his bondsman. He presented a pe
tition signed by his neighbors.
George Kretzler presented to the court a
countenance of most decided redness, as he
made his plea for No. 3G2G Butler street.
He sold liquors for 11 j ears until cnt off by
Judge lute, and during the past year did
nothing much. He likewise rents from the
man who signs his bond.
Judge Lwm said- "Pome curious coinci
dences are shonn by the special vouchers
which come to us. In nearly all instances it is
cither the lardlord or the real estatcagent who
vouches for the applicant. In this case one of
the vouchers is his doctor, Hamlin."
Airs. Kate Louis, who has a license at No.
S54S Butler street, was represented by United
States District Attorney Lyon. She operates
a large saloon and eating house. Her bar man
ager is Mr. Pierman. "1 have heard no com
plaints," said Judge Ewing, '-and this is appar
ently about the best in the neighborhood."
KEADV "WITH A RESTAURANT.
E. Ltndenfclser, No. 3523 Butler street, two
years ago applied for No. 3109 Butler eet,
and was refused because he had no restaurant.
Now, he said, he bad secured a good restaurant
fcite. The place is now occupied by Henry
Werth, who is on the speak-easy list. Judge
Ewing told the applicant that the house had a
i ery bad record.
Sirs. Mary Mes'mer at the corner of Thirty
ninth street and Penn avenue, a biack-baired
woman who, for a wonder, did not wear mourn
ing, said that she had kept a saloon for three
years, until the day of the Brook3 law. since
which time she has kept boarders. Under the
old law she sold on Sunday.
Joseph Muench is licensed at No. 3G00 Butler
street, HesMd tint he had a restaurant, and
had not been violating the law. He keeps four
barkeepers, and has a rushing business.
John G. McWiIliams and John Ebert applied

opposite the cable pon er house, was closed for
two cars.
'Have you sold soft drinks?"
"Y'oar Honer. I tried it for a few months two
years ago. but it didn't pa for the ice."

"Yes, Your Honor, I have had two."
BACKED Hr BREWERS.
Joseph McGroarty, a handsomo young man
of neat address, applied for No. 3343 Butler
street, where he proposes to keep a dining
room and a bar. He is by trade an engineer,
employed by Z. Wainwnght fc Co. His pro
posed location is now the boarding house of
Mrs. Suppert, whose son is an applicant fur
ther west In the same block. The Judge ex
pressed dissatisfaction, because Mr. McCarthv's
bond was signed by b. J. Wainwnght, but the
applicant declared that his bondsman was not
interested in the proposed public house.
Martin Neckerman, N os. 200 and 202 Thirty
fourth street. His place was formerly kept as
a tap house by Chris Shenot, who now applies
for No. 3429 Butler street. Mr. Neckerman is a
tinner, aud has had no experience as a tavern
keeper. Judge Ewing thought his location too
near the Carnegie and Clark mills.
J ohn S. Oehling. No. 3329 Penn avenue, at the
Forks, applies for the place kept by Jacob
Stein until 1SS8. He is on the speak-easy list,
but declared thathe had never sold a drink in
bis life. He keeps a barber shop. His charac
ter was attested by Mr. Melanpny, labor boss
at Carnegie's upper milk
Judge Ewing said: "There are so many doubt
ful places out there. Perhaps we may license
come of these places for three months, and see
what kind of a restaurant they keep. If they
keep a good restaurant, they may be given a
lull license."
Ignatius Pflumm, No. 3501 Penn avenue, was
another client of Mr. Wiedmann. His place
was 'in olden times" called the Central Hotel.
Mr. Wiedmann asked:
MADE THEM LAUGH.
"How long have you been in this line of busi
nessall your life ?"
"Since 'OS," replied the applicant, amid the
laughter of the courtroom.
"If Y'our Honor please." said Mr. Wiedmann,
"I am his next-door neighbor. He has a big
yard where tho farmers put their wagons.
Many a time I see those poor farmers, even
from Butler county "
"Ah, Mr. Wiedmann," cried Judge Ewing;
"I am glad to hear jou say that. Two years ago
it seemed that we had to accommodate from
1000 to 20,000 farmers from Butler county. This
is the first appearance of the Butler county
farmer this year."
Mr. Pflumm was questioned concerning the
speak-easy charge, when Mr. Wiedmann ex-
filained: "Your honor, I know he sells noth
ng. because I try myself to get it on Sunday
and be will not sell me a drop."
"Why. Mr. Wiedmann," said Judge Ewing,
with a decided elevation of the eyebrows, "am
I to understand that yon. a member of the bar,
would thus seek to induce a violation of the
law?"
"Oh, rell, Your Honor'pleaded the attorney,
with a shrug of the shoulders and a spreading
of his palms, "sometimes on Sunday 1 feel ail
ing, and the drugstore 1b too far awav."
August Piefer. corner Butler and Thirty
ninth streets. Is on tho speak-easy list, but the
demea selling. He bought, he said, a keg or

but now keeps a grocery and restaurant. He
was refused by Judge White.
BIO BILLS FOR GROCERIES.
Albert Zacharias and R. J. Richardson keep
a licensed house at No. 3329 Penn avenue, near
the power house. Neither of their families
lire at that house, but their meat and grocery
bill, they say, is about 400 a month. They
keep four barkeepers. Their restaurant is on
tho first floor aud their dining room on the sec
ond floor.
Tho gentlemen were cross-examined by At
torney B. C. Christy, who asked if they knew of
the Owl Club. Mr. Richardson said that he
knew the club: that it was a fishing club; that
be had belonged to it for IS jears; that it was
located In the Ninth ward, and that beer was
sold there, without a license, at night aud on
Sundays. Mr. Richardson said that the club
had tents aud tackle, and actually went fishing
every snmmor. Attorney Fetterman said he
could not see what the Owl Club had to dowitu
the public house at tlie Forks of the Road.
Judge Ewing asked Mr. Richardson, "Havejou
Kept an orderly place?" "I would quit the busi
ness," said the applicant, "if 1 could not keep
an orderly house."
August Ruh applied for No. 3345 Penn ave
nue. He was retused under the Brooks law,
and last year went to Birmingham, Ala., and
opened a saloon in that city. He said that he
did not like it there, there being too rough an
"element." and he retnrncd to this city last
December.
A CARRIER OP PAPERS.
Theodore Suppert, Nos. 3515 and 3S17 Butler
street, is a young man, with a feeble voice. He
owns the houses, he says, and gets possession of
them April L Mr. Suppert is a newspaper car
rier. Ho is a son of Karl Suppert, and old
keeper of public houses, andbas been carrying
papers for 11 years. His wife recently died.
Andrew Scholn, No. 3549 Butler, corner of
Thirty-sixth street, was lefusedm 1SSS, accord-
in grains explanation, necause tue nnmoer oi
his house was not given in his petition. J mice
Ewing said, however, that thero was much
more than that against the gentleman. Mr.
ocDoin, tike nis predecessor .nun, nan a .Birm
ingham experience, which gave him a keen ap
petite to return to Pittsburg.
Jacob Stem, No. 3519 Butler street, is a great
big, blonde-bearded man, who could not talk
loud enough to be heard by the Judges, twelve
feet distant. One of the exhibitions of this
hearing is that the weakest voices are possessed
by the biggest men. while the good, plain talk
cis have nearly all been little fellows. Mr.
Stein's houe contains tno unlucky number of
13 rooms. He tried for a license for it last
jear, and though he was rudely refused by
J ..dee White, he has not given up to bis des
pair. Meantimehe has been struggling with
an adverse fate, as the keeper of a boarding
bouse.
DIDN'T SELL SOFT BRINKS.
Mathias Shenot, No. 3321 Smallmin street,
not only has a French name, but be looks likea
citizen of France. His black goatee has a cute
little curl to It which would make many a
dancing master cross-eyed with envy. At mo
ments when he was worried by the cutting gaze
of the gentlemen on the bench, he would twist
his forefinger in the hook on the end of his
goatee, and nervously fan the air with his little
finger. Had he sold sold soft drinks? No, sir;
not he; never.
He was followed by Christ Shenot, a little
larger and not so swarthy as Mathns. but look
ing Just as Gallic Ho applies for No. 3129
Buticr street, and sajs he will keep a good
restaurant and saloon. He knows how to ru n a
bar, and bis wife is an expert cook, if Mr.
Shenot knows one. Ihehouse where he desires
to locate he will not secure until April L It is
now kept bv Peter Galleece, and is on the little
ist of Mr. Brown. Mr. Shenot said that he had
been in the place several times recently, but ho
declared, by the great horn spoon, that he had
not smelled beer in the house. "It aon't do,"
sild Judge Ewing, "to put a man in a houso
like that. Its reputation clings to It. Tho
houso runs itself." Mr. Shenot walked away
with a dim impression that he was not in it.
LIVING ON HIS MONEY.
Then came M. A. Snyder, a plump, smooth
gentleman of about 45 years, who desires again
to tap the foaming beer and draw the rosy
whisky at the corner of Penn avenue and
Thirty-sixth street. He held court therein
ISsS, but during the past 12 months has been
living on his money. Mr. Snvder was the fourth
applicant who openly confessed thathe was
born and raised in Pittsburg. "I thought in
1S88," said Judge Ewing, "that we w ere licens
ing about the best house out there, but we were
grievously disappointed. There were many
complaints about this place. I passed the bouse
one dav and was much surprised to sen what
sort of a place it was."
EIiasH. Waidler.No. S720 Buticr street, said
that ho bad a house which cVjovcd the distinc
tion of being a rumshop lor about 2S years.
Judge Ewing asked: "Have you kept a rem
nant of those Butler county farmers ?"
'Yes. sir; 1 believe I have the bulk of them.
There are the names on my petition."
"I am glad to know," the Judge said, solemn
ly, "that they are not all dead."
. Weidler, who is on the speak-easy list and
keeps on Butler a few doors bejond Thirty
eighth street, is an uncle to the applicant, but
Elias declared that there exists no business
connection between him and his esteemed kins
man. LAST IN THE WARD.
James Ward closed the ward. He wishes to
reopen his bar, now one year closed, at No. 3321
Penn avenue. While he could sell liquor ho
kept travelers, "some weeks," ho said, "six or
sei en and some weeks none at all." Mr. Ward,
desiring to make sure of his woodchuck, has
also applied for a wholesale house.
The Sixteenth ward being opened, Philio
Adler bobbed up serenely, applying for No. 4400
Liberty avenue. He owns his house, has lots of
room, a big bar. and a very large desire to sell
intoxicants. He kept a saloon in the past, and
for two years has ueen growing fat and red
cheeked as a brewer for L. Straub & Co., of
Allegheny,
Another ladv In black wis Mrs. Margaret
Blum, who held up her well-gloved little hand
and swore to her story of Nos. 47U and 4762
Liberty avenue. Her husband died during the
car. For 19 years he kept the house, having
had a liquor license until one year ago. The
lady has struggled along with six to eight
boarders, but finds that a very slow way to sup
port a family of six growing children. Her
answers to the Court were straight, and her
prospects seem excellent.
BOWLED OUT BEFORE.
Philip B'edenbach applies for No. 4G23 Lib
erty avenue. He was lor four years a barten
der, and for four other years a saloon keeper in
the Twelfth ward. He was bowled out in ISSS.

black hat, a seal-plush cloak and a charming
smile, applied for No. 4552 Penn avenue. She

call-, it, a restaurant. She used to have a
licenced place and sold on Sunoay. She said,
however, that she "never took no stock in sell
ing to boys." She neier had anv trouble with
rough men. A little civil talk from her alnas
made them behave themselves. Her brother-in-law,
Bradley, would run the place.
Thomas J. Chalfant, who bad applied for the
bumcr ui rtuu iiiciiua auu .1 Jjiny-cigmn
street, stepping up to the bench, said: "I t ish
to withdraw my application," smiled, bowed
and tripped away.
John J. Dischner, No. 4114 Penn avonue, has
nothing in that house now except an option,
but be said that he expected to put into it a
first-class restaurant, 'the house is now occu
pied by the wnoltsalo liquor house of Thomas
Ilogan. For 13 j oars Mr. Dischner was in the
employ of How e, Browne & Co. Ho made a
good appearance beforo the court.
MADE HIS STATEMENT.
Patrick Flood, No. 3315 Liberty avenue, had
no number on his petition, but ho was allowed
to make his statement. He has a boarding
house with as many as half a dozen boarders.
Prior to 1SSS he sold whisky on a $100 license
and sold on Sunday.
Andrew Gangwisb, Wo. 4616 Penn avenue, is

"We haven't agreed on the rent yet."

journment. Judge Ewing announced that to
day the Court would hear the applicants from
the remainder of the Sixteenth ward and all
from the Seventeenth and Eighteenth.
READY FOR HIS WORK
But Sorry That the End of It
Isn't Already in Sight.
NO SNAP COUNTING NOSES.
Mr. Oliver Expects His Men to Coyer
Districts in Ten Days.
POPULATION TO BE KNOWN IN JULY
George T. Oliver, census supervisor for
the Ninth district ot Pennsylvania, got
down to real work yesterday, in the enum
eration of Allegheny's population and re
sources, and by the middle of June the
energetic supervisor expects to have his
work completed. He only intends to allow
his enumerators ten days in which to com
plete their tasks. They will commence
work on Jnne 2, and on the morning of
June 13, and not later than June 14, all the
reports must be in the hands of the super
visor. Yesterday Mr. Oliver rented rooms
in the Lewis block, Smithfield street, and
by Saturday he expects to occupy them.
He will have there several clerks and a
typewriter he having obtained his wife's
consent.
His first work yesterday was to order a
big map of the two cities from A. Y. Lee,
the civil engineer, and also a map oi the
entire county from the same architect. They
will each be about fonr feet square and
show every street, road and alley in thp
county. These maps he will divide into
about 200 districts, and as nearly as possible
follow the election precincts. The maps
will be sent on to the Superientendent of
the Census for approval, and then the enu
merators will be appointed. It will be sev
eral weeks yet before such appointments
can be made.
A MASS OP WORK.
Although the special agents of the Gov
ernment will greatly relieve Mr. Oliver, in
that they will take caro of the Industrial feat
ures of the censns, there is still such a mass of
work before him that he is almost tired of the
position before he commences. The greatest
trouble be finds at present, however, is the
large amonnt of time the duties of tho office
take from his business interests.
When seen at his home last night Mr. Oliver
said he bad just started in to the work of num
bering people and his only desire seemed to be
to finish it as quickly as possible. He said:
"I commenced work to-day in dead earnest.
Thi- morning I ordered mips of the two cities
andthecountv from A. Y. Lee. I also rented
offices in the Lewis block, and will have my
office opened up by the latter part of the week.
I will have mv assistants there and also a type
writer. My plans are not well enough formu
lated yet to tell much about them, and in factl
am at present just about as much acauainted
with the work of census taking as any other
mortal. Even this early, though, I begin to feel
tired of the job, and wish it were through. It
is not that I fear the work, for I can arrange
for my assistants to attend to the routine part
of it, but it is going to tako too much of my
time from my other business Interests. Like
Superintendent Porter, I want to make a
record with my part of the work, and will push
it just as fast as possible. I want to have my
report in uy tue middle oi Jnne. Thelast cen
sus while a good one. lost nearly all its value
in the delay in giving the results to the people.
WANTS TO EXPEDITE IT.
"Mr. Porter also wants to push the work this
time, and expects to publish his report of the
population by the latter part of July, and all
the other reports will follow just as quickly as
possible, so that all of them will be published
inside of tne next 18 months. In speaking to
me of this matter, Mr. Porter said he did not
want to extend his time in office any longer
than possible. He had other business to look
after, and would be too happy to turn the key
in his office door and get back to New York.
"I will betrin at once the work of districting
the city. The map from Mr. Lee will be most
complete and will be about four feet square.
As far as possible I will make my districts cor
respond with the election district", and where
they are small in territory or population two of
them will be bunched together. On each of
these districts I will mark the vote of the last
general election, which will give some clear
idea of the number of people living in
each of them. This man will be forwarded to
Superintendent Porter for approval. It will be
at least two weeks before I can get the Super
intendent's approval, and then I will appoint
the enumerators, who will, of course, have to
be approved by the Superintendent.
"Right here, though," Mr. Oliver continued,
"comes a hitch. To-day I cot a circular from
Mr. Porter, requesting, or rather commanding,
tbat no person who had been, or was now, a tax
assessor or a collector should be appointed as
an ennmerator. In a former circular be had
recommended that such people would be tho
proper persons to appoint. In this, his last cir
cular, however, he makes an entirely different
request. He gave as his reasons that people not
connected with the assessing or collecting of
taxes would be able to securo more favorable
aud truthful answers to all the questions.
A JOB FOR AN ANGEL.
"It takes almost an angel to tell tho truth to
a person who has anything to do with the taxes.
Where it catches mo is that most of the appli
cations for positions are from just such persons,
and 1 will have to look out for a different class
of men.
"The enumerators will commence work on
Monday, June L I only intend to allow them
ten days. The districts will be mado small
enough for them to easily cover in eight dais,
and give them two days to get their reports in
shape. All their reports will have to be in my
office not later than June 14. and inside ot a
week after that I expect to turn ever) thing
over to the Superintendent and close the office.
I believe the reports will be moro accurate if
done quickly.
"I only hae to look after the population and
social statistics. The special agents of the
Government will look after the industrial in
terests. James M. Swank, of Philadelphia, has
charge of tho iron and steel. He is eminently
fitted for the position, being Vice President of
the American iron and Steel Association, and
is personally acquainted with almost every
manufacturer in that Industry in the countrj.
His work will be largely done through circu
lars to each of the mills. His report will not
be at all localized. The department of petro
leum, coal and natural ras will be in cbanre of
i Joseph D. Weeks. I am not certain who has
cargo oi tne class mdustrv.
'In my w ork, too, I will be greatly aided in
the cities. One of the features to bo embodied
in my report will be a list of all the deaths
dnnng the past year. In Pittsburg we will get
all that information from the Board of Health,
and in Allegheny it will be furnished to us by
Health Officer Bradley. Besides getting the
number of people we will have to learn their
age, the place of their nativity, their indebted
ness, etc In fact, 1 do not know yet exactly
how much information we aro to give, for I
have not received all of my blanks. The only
thing I do see real clearly at present is a mount
ain of work."
HEAYY GKA1N SHIPMENT.
A Commodity Tnr'.fT Mny be Issued Cover
ing ibe Iron Itntrs.
C. S. Wight, General Western Freight Agent
of the Baltimore and Ohio, left for New York
last night to attend a meeting of the Trunk
Line Association. Mr. Wight said that some
of the roads would make an effort to change
the classification of the iron rate, claiming that
lake and river competition demanded it. He
thought it was possible a special commodity
tariff would bo issued covering the ground.
In a short chat Mr. Wicht said: "One can't
tell much about the future, but I think the
prospects for business are bright. The grain
shipments from the West have been heavy all
winter, and they will continue until May, when
there will be a general letting up. The corn
crop of lSb9 was the largest over known in the
countrv. The Western farmers always store
up the present year's crop, and hold it until
they can see what the next one will be like.
They are just beginning now to ship some of
the grain raised last summer."
THAT 1IIGII SCHOOL EACKET.
The
Central Board

The cases of the Phelps and Tibbey boys,
who have been suspended from the High

Board of Education, as stated in an afternoon
paper. The boys were suspended according to
the rules governing suspensions, as laid down
by the Central Board, and the matter cannot go

Only cases involving expulsions are referred
to the board.

nongahela registered 22 feet 5 inches, and by
nightfall the water had declined to 20 feet.
All along the Aileghenv river bank from the
Point to beyond the Chestnut street bridge,
the waters are receding.
At 0.30 o'clock yesterday the water stood 23
feet 6 inches. lu the afternoon the mark
showed the river to have diminished upward of
4 feet Though the current is swift, yet all
danger is past, and nothing serious has oc
curred outside of flooded cellars aud the block
ading of the Fittsburc and Western Railroad
since Saturday. The first tram from Chicago
reached the Pittsburg and Western depot
yesteraay anernoon. it iook two engines to
pull the cars through the water, which bad
risen on the railroad tracks several feet, and
for considerable distance the roadbed is com
pletely submerged. However, the authorities
hope to have everything in shape and be able
to run their regular trains by to-day.
Housewives, scrubbing brushes and brooms
were prominent features on River avenue,
Allegheny. A stroll in tbat direction revealed
the fact that goods packed in cellars were
seriously damaged.
On either side of the river big piles of logs
and rubbish of all kinds were left high and dry
on the streets. The sign "Place no ditt or ashes
here" has been totally Ignored by the giant tur
bulent waters, as they left in their wake all tho
rubbish imaginable; and, as if In mockery, the
injunction flows serenely on, and joins bands
with the Monongahela at the Point, and surges
into the Ohio.
The cellar of the Boyer House and, in fact,
all along Duquesne way, many places have been
put to considerable inconvenience, but no
damage.
The baseball ground1 of the Brotherhood
team, at the Exposition, have largely lost the
appearance of a nataturium, and in a few days
will be sufficiently dry for the work to be con
tinned. Mr. Morris, of the Brotherhood club,
said jesterday that the flood would not delay
the work to any considerable extent, and that
the grounds would be ready in plenty of time
for the oncning game.
MajorPearson and Ordinance Officer Cope
land, of Aileghenv, prayed that tho flood would
carry off some of the jo-boats, but this good
fortune went shy on them. One of the jolly
boatmen was asked if he intended to vacate his
hitching post. He said if he could stand a
flood, he certainly could not be bluffed away by
any officials. He said he would continue to do
business snuggling against the river bank and
his solitary goat, musing amid the plenteous
waste of old tin cans, exhausted shoes, broken
bottles and reminiscent circus bills.
BUDDENSIECK BUILDINGS.
Flllsbnrc Architects Tnklng Alnrm nt the
Flimslness of Some Structures They
Have to Pat Up Controller Morrow
Says Lccislstlon Ik Needed.
The architects of Pittsburg have taken
alarm at the style of some buildings which
they are required to pnt up for residence
purposes. A consultation was held npon
the subject a few days ago, among some of
the leading architects, and from a compari
son of notes it was found that several blocks
of buildings in the city are constructed be
tween fonr brick walls, while the dividing
partitions are so constructed, probably with
a view to acoustic perfection not attained by
any public hall in Pittsburg, from the Exposi
tion Hall to the dime museums, tbat a baby
crving in No. 1 can be beard at No. 6.
The possibilities of this attempt at the Bud
aensieck style of architecture, should a firn
break out in one of the buildings, it was said,
were alarming as the divisions were no more
proof against lire than the screens with which
the Japanese hotel keepers, or tho New York
sailors' boarding house keepers, subdivide their
apartments.
Controller Morrow was asked yesterday if no
remedy could be devised for such a state of
affairs, and he said that there was certainly
legislation needed in such a matter, as the
building inspectors could not act without au
thority, and at present he did not think there
was any statute under which they could pro
ceed against the builders of such blocks with
out being authorized by complaints ot the occu
pants. Of course, he said, be would not give
tbat as an official opinion, but be thought that
a common sense view of the question at issue
might Induce the builders and architect', for
their own credit and the general public for its
own safety, to proceed toward securing tho
necessary legislation.
TUE FJFTIT WHEEL.
So Chief Elliott Regard the City Treasurer'
Recommendation as to Bids.
The Department of Awards met yesterday
afternoon and recommended tho contracts for
city printing and stationery. Beforo the con
tracts were taken up a letter from the City
Treasurer was read, in which be asked that,
notwithstanding tbat Charles F. Peck & Son
were tho lowest bidders, the co'ntract be award
ed to Best J. Co. tor printing the city tax books,
as they bad furnished the books last year and
their work was superior to Peck & Son's.
Chief Elliott wanted to know when the fifth
member had been appointed on the Depart
ment cif Awards. He said he did not pay any
attention to such letters. The lowest bidder
was under bonds to do good work as well as the
highest, and if good work was not supplied
there was a remedy in anothor direction.
The contracts were then awarded. Peck &
Son getting tho tax book contract. John P.
Devine secured the contract for printine tho
municipal record at SI 97 per page. Best & Co.
got the Council files at SI 24 per paere. The

from 12 to 30 inches in diameter. Dennis Long
4 Co. of Louisville, secured the contract at S23
per ton for regular sizes and $44 for special
castings. Two Pittsburg bids wero consider
ably higher.
Bids wero opened for fuel for the garbage
f nrnaces, but the matter was laid over until a
future meeting. Fred Greinerbid SI 85 per ton

BELGIANS INDIGNANT
Another American Contract Labor
Scheme Brought to Light.
SOHOTUBE WORKERS ON STRIKE.
Coal Miners Will Settle Their Scale at a
Meeting- To-Day.
MANX LABOR GEMS FE0M THE WORKERS
Arnold Schneider, Consular Agent of Bel
gium in this city, is at present gathering
data with a view to exposing an American
employer of labor for attempting to import
laborers from Belgium. A few days ago he
received a letter from the Belgian authori
ties containing an advertisement taken from
the Journal de Charleroi, published on Feb
ruary 20, in Charleroi, the central industrial
city of Belgium. The substance of the ad
vertisement translated is as follows:
Good workmen, and boys from 13 to IS
years of age, are badly wanted in North
America. The company will advance the
necessary expenses for the trip, and will
make a contract for a year at a salary of
from G to 10 francs per day. Address M. P.
Watelet, Charleroi, Belgium.
There is nothing about the card to indi
cate how manv workmen are wanted. The
number is unlimited.
DEFYING THE LAWS.
It is very evident that an open effort is
being made, however, to bring tbe men here
in open defiauce to the laws of both the
Belgian and American Governments. It is
not surprising that the Belgian authorities
should endeavor to prevent the importation of
their own people, as their bes. workmen are
mostly among thoe who come away. Mr.
Schneider said to a Dispatch reporter yester
day afternoon:
"I think that just now, when there is such a
universal cry raised against foreign immigra
tion by both press and people, it is unjust for
American manufacturers to break the laws of
not only this Government, but of that from
which they get their men. Some of these man
ufacturers who import contract labor are the
most enthusiastic against foreign immigration.
"In this case I am simply required to furnish
my Government with tbe law here regulating
the importation of contract labor and tho law
governing the emplovment of laborers in col
leges and quarries. The Belgian Government
is opposed to tbe immigration of their people,
and especially their skilled workmen. Most of
the people who are coming now are good work
men. COME ITERE TO STAT.
They come here to stay; some of tbem of
their own freewill, others through inducements
offered to them. They do not leave their own
country temporarily, but they forsake their
native homes forever. They come here to live.
They buy their own homes in hundreds of
cases, as was shown by their recent purchase of
property in Jeannette, Charleroi and other
places In this vicinity.
The majority ot these neople are industrious
and mlling to work. You never see a Belgian
tramp. A man who comes bore and becomes a
producer is as valuable to tbe country as a na
tive born American. The Belgian Government
recognizes bis value, and bave placed very se
vere restrictions on immigration. It is but
natural that I should defend my people. The
plate glass industry was introduced and de
veloped in America by Belgians, and I think
it's a little hard for people to raise such an
opposition and then send authorized agents to
foreign countries to import laborers in direct
opposition to the laws."
Mr. Schneider will make an effort to learn
who has advertised for tbe workmen and re
port his information to the Belgian Govern
ment. A STRIKE AT SonO.
The Pennsylvania Tube Workers Go Out to
Sustnln !9oaUnlon Men.
The men employed at the Pennsylvania Tube
Works, at Uoho, went out on strike last night.
In the afternoon three men, among them being
John Lane and Thomas King, wero discharged
for violation of tho rules of the mill. A notice
had been posted up that any employe leaving
the mill without an excuse would be dis
charged. About 3 o'clock tbe three men had a
sudden desire to go out for a drink, and upon
their return they wore discharged.
When tbe day turn went oil at 6 o'clock, the
night men refused to go to work in the mill
unlets the discharged men were reinstated. A
meeting of L. A. 6332, Knights of Labor, to
which tbe men belong, has been called for this
afternoon to take action on the matter. A
curious feature of the matter is that the dis
charged men are among the few in the mill
who are not in the union. Six hundred men
axe idle.
THE COAL MEETING TO-DAT.
Columbus lion d j Thronten lo Withdraw
From the Trnflle Association.
The coal operators of this city will watch
with interest the result of the meeting of Hock
ing Valley Railroad agents at Columbus to-day.
It is said that several of the roads will Insist
upon making a differential rate of 25 cents in
favor of the Hocking Valley operators. If the
Traffic Association do not sustain this, it is
said the roads would likely inaugurate a rate
war.
Tho Pittsburg operators do not care what tho
railroad companies do with tho rates, so long
ns they do not make too great a differential in
favor of their competitors. If the Pittsburg
railroad agents bad their way, they would
charge the Hocking Valley operators higher
rates than those from Pittsburg on account of
the haul being longer.
TO READJUST THE SCALE.
Tbo Amalgamated Men at Homestead Slay
Safier a Slight Redaction.
The wage scale of the workers at Carnegie
Phipps fcCo.'s Homestead mill will be read
justed this week. Tbo three months for which
the present scale was made expires on tbe 31st
inst. Under the new scale for the months of
April, May and June it is probable that there
will be a slight reduction of wages. The scale
is based on tbe selling price of blooms and bil
lets for tne preceding three months.
The priceB have decreased a little, and tbe
market for this product is not as stiff as it was
daring October, November and December.
The committee will meet the firm some time
this week.
ALLEGED IMPORTED MATERIAL
Eelnff Pat In Col. Sclioonmnker's New House
bv Non-Union Workmen.
Yesterday one of tbe local officers of the
American Federation of Labor, received a let
ter from George K. Lloyd, Secretary of the
Board of Delegates of tbe Building Trades of
New York, asking him to investigate the mar
ble mosaic work on a house being built here by
Colonel Schoonmaker.
The letter was accompanied by a report from
the Italian Marble Mosaic Workers' Union of
New York, stating that the contractor doing
tbe work imports the material and hires non
union men to lay; and that there have been
several strikes against him In New York.
AGAINST MR. ARCHIBALD.
The Painters nnd Decorators Will Protest
Against Ills Appointment.
Last night Union No. 15, Brotherhood of
Painters and Decorators, of Allegheny, in
structed the Secretary to forward to Governor
Hill, of New York, a protest against the ap

present incumbent's term of office.

Painters' National District, K. of L., and the
members of the Brotherhood of Painters and

A GLASS WORKS, TOO.
Ex-Postmaster Lnrkln's mill to be Located
nt Blienn Vista.
A Dispatch correspondent says in regard
to the company about to establish a iron mill
at West Newton, mention of which was made
in this paper weeks ago, says:
"A company of Pittsburg capitalists have or
ganized to build a large glass plant and steel
works, and have about decided to locate on tbe
Hamilton Brothers' tract, at Buena Vista sta
tion. This is a tract of about 300 acres of the
best land to be found on tbe B. & O. It. R,
There are three quarters of a mile ot river
front. About 50 acres his a ten-foot veiir of
sand lying underneath. There is an abundanco
of limestone, with a large body of coal adjoin
ing. The tract lies midway between tbe Mur
rcysville, Bellevernon and Gruveville gas dis
trict, with a line from Grapeville rnnmng near.
The property is valued at J200 per acre."
The Board of Trade of West Newton closed
yesterday the contract with the Uligo Iron Mill
Company, ot this city, for the Robinson and
Carntherx tract ol land, upon which tbev will
prect a big iron works, employing from 800 to
1.000 men. Work will be commenced at once
on the new plant and pushed to completion by
fail.

Ohio Glass IHannlnclnrers Prepared for the
Scnrcltrof Soda Asb.
Tbe announcement tbat the supply of soda
ash In New York had been entirely exhausted,
and that owing to strikes among tbe workmen
of tbe English manufacturers of the drug, the
foreign article could not be obtained, was not
received by theglassmenof Findlay, O., with
much apprehension, as the 1G factories antici
pating something of the kind, laid in an

works until the close of tbe present fire.
The Findlay glassmen, however, profess to
see in the recent rise in the price of soda ash,
amounting to about 150 percent over the fig
ures that prevailed when the season opened, an
excuse for a further advance in tho price of
glass, and a meeting of the Ohio and Indiana
